Chapter 275: Tracing the Roots
My brow furrowed.
I'm not worried that the three of them will attack each other, none of them can do that kind of thing. What worries me is that they will have a problem in their hearts and will not be able to cooperate sincerely, which is the deadliest crisis of a combination.
Before I could speak, Lu Xiaoying had already stepped forward and said, "No matter who two of them die, I, Lu Xiaoying, will take my life to pay back." Are you satisfied with this answer? ”
Nangong Ling's smile suddenly imprisoned on her face, as if she wanted to sarcastically say a few words to Lu Xiaoying, but she couldn't say anything.
There is no need for Lu Xiaoying to explain anything to Nangong Ling, her words are for me.
When I turned my head to look at Lu Xiaoying, the latter nodded slightly at me.
Nangong Ling said coldly: "Then I'll wait to see how you pay for people's lives!" ”
Sun Yue said with a smile: "Why should my sister do such a fearless battle of words with them, we will wait and see what the result is." Let's go! ”
After the people from the Hanging Mirror Division left, Lu Xiaoying walked up and put the two magic boxes together: "Everyone come and look for it." There are certainly no two things in the world that are exactly the same, and there are guaranteed differences between the two magic boxes, so let's take a closer look. ”
A group of us searched for a long time, but we didn't see the difference between the two magic boxes.
I said to Zhiyuan, "How likely does the master think it is that someone will copy the magic box?" ”
Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "Basically, no." I've also heard a little about the magic box. But the five major sects of the Dao of Art ......"
Zhiyuan was afraid that I wouldn't understand, so he explained: "At that time, the Nine Pavilions were as famous as the current Four Sects, but in the later period, because of the loss of a group of masters, the five major factions fell out. ”
After I nodded slightly, Zhiyuan continued, "The only ones who didn't participate in the research of the magic box back then were the Nine Pavilions and the Prajna Temple. The sealing magic box was shot by the monk of Prajna Temple. ”
"Moreover, over the years, there have been high-ranking monks guarding the manor here, and they have been overlived for the innocent souls of the year. Before I arrived, there was nothing unusual here. It is unlikely that someone will steal the magic box and imitate it. ”
Shen Fengyin shook his head and said, "Actually, you don't need to steal the magic box to imitate it." Imitation magic box only needs the shape to be sufficient, there is no need to imitate the internal structure. At that time, the five major factions all collected the illustrated book of the magic box, and also recorded the characteristics of the magic box in detail. It is not difficult to get the secret file of the five factions, and it is not difficult to imitate a magic box. ”
I looked at Shen Fengyin: "Who can imitate the magic box?" ”
Shen Fengyin thought for a while and said, "The counterfeiting masters in the antique shop can imitate the shape of the magic box, and the ability to make old ones is also first-class. However, they don't make locks. If there are heirs of the South Lock and North Core to cooperate with them, it is not difficult to imitate a magic box. ”
The master counterfeiters in the antique shop are not in the arts, nor are they in the sect, but their craftsmanship is passed down from generation to generation. As long as there are insiders with you, it is not difficult to find a master of counterfeiting. The difficulty lies in the lock.
Lu Xiaoying also asked: "Is there still a successor to the south lock and the north core?" ”
"Yes, but rarely shows up." Shen Feng groaned, "Since the decline of the lock-making one, they have gradually faded out of the stage of the Dao of Arts. It's very difficult to find them right now, and I need some time. ”
I was puzzled: "What does it mean to lock the south and the north core?" ”
Shen Fengyin explained: "A long time ago, the mechanism group was very popular, and there were not only schools that specialized in making large mechanisms, but also schools that focused on small mechanisms like the south lock and the north core. ”
"The south lock and the north core are all sects that are famous for making locks, because one south and one north, it is named 'south lock north core'. It is said that they have reached the pinnacle of their work, and they have gone beyond the locks in the ordinary sense, which is enough to be included in the top magic weapons. ”
"However, the main source of income for the south lock and the north core is to make slightly more advanced ordinary locks or secret boxes, which has always been difficult to find before the Republic of China. Later, safes and password locks became popular, and the business of South Lock and North Core began to plummet...... In recent years, what fingerprint locks and password locks have appeared, and there is no market for the south lock and the north core, which still adheres to the ancestral secret technique, and it has begun to fade out of the way. ”
Shen Fengyin pointed to the compass on the magic box and said: "This kind of compass lock is the proud work of the south lock and the north core back then. That's why I said that if you want to imitate the magic box, you have to cooperate with the master of counterfeiting and the heirs of the south lock and the north core. ”
I nodded, "Is there anyone else who can imitate them?" ”
Shen Feng groaned: "There will only be rumors left." The rumors are the culmination of deception, and counterfeiting fakes is also one of their secret skills. It is said that in order to keep secrets, the rumors rarely go to people to help them make fakes, and they are themselves masters of counterfeiting. ”
I muttered, "Trap locks, they can make them too?" ”
Shen Feng groaned: "It's hard to say. It's not difficult to just get them to make something superficial. If you open the magic box, you may be able to see the clues; If that's all there is to it, it's hard for me to determine whether the box is real or not. ”
"Can't open!" I immediately rejected Shen Fengyin's proposal.
Now, no one dares to guarantee that the magic box in our hands will be fake, even the magic box that was taken out of the demon burning pool at the beginning, it is difficult to determine whether it is true or false now. If you open the box rashly, God knows what the consequences will be.
Zhiyuan also nodded and said, "I also agree with Lord Wu's statement, it is not a wise move to open the magic box rashly. ”
I thought for a moment and said, "Do you know the origin of the magic box?" I mean, who got the box from where? ”
Shen Feng groaned, "As far as I know, the first person to discover the magic box was the Dark Golden Hall of the Hanging Mirror Division. ”
"In addition to the five halls that perform the tasks of the Hanging Mirror, the halls that are responsible for other tasks are collectively known as the Twelve Halls of the Hanging Mirror. Jintang is mainly responsible for raising funds for the Hanging Mirror Division and maintaining the operation of the Hanging Mirror Division. The golden hall is divided into two halls: bright gold and dark gold. ”
"Mingjintang is doing legal business, but Dark Jintang's money is not visible. Tomb robbing is also one of the main methods of the Dark Golden Hall. ”
"It is said that the Dark Golden Hall once participated in a tomb robbery, and they took out this magic box from the tomb. The man who took the box fell ill and died shortly after returning to the Hanging Mirror Division, but the Hanging Mirror Division did not take his death seriously. The mysterious death of the tomb robber is not uncommon in the arts, so he directly burned the corpse. What they're really interested in is the box itself. ”
Shen Fengyin pointed to the mechanism lock on the magic box and said: "Because this mechanism lock was recognized by the mechanism master at that time, it was an extremely rare divine work, so the person in charge of the Hanging Mirror Division at that time had a great interest in the mechanism. ”
When I heard this, I asked, "I want to ask, since the Hanging Mirror Division was so interested in the magic box in the first place, why didn't you leave the magic box at the headquarters of the Hanging Mirror Division and move it outside?" ”
Shen Feng groaned: "I was also very strange about this matter at first, but there is no record of this in the intelligence. I pondered for a long time before I came to the conclusion that the box should have been stained with demonic energy in the first place. ”
Shen Fengyin pointed to the manor outside and said, "There are many places like this in the Hanging Mirror Division. This is not so much the stronghold of the Hanging Mirror Division, but rather a workshop left outside. This manor belongs to the Ping Demon Hall, and its main role is to kill the captured monsters. ”
"There is not only the Hanging Mirror Division's trap formation, the Demon Burning Pool, but even a slaughterhouse and processing workshop. The corpses of the monsters were either made into materials by them, or they were traded directly with other sects. If there was a demonic aura on the magic box in the first place, it would be most appropriate to send it directly here. In addition......"
Shen Fengyin changed his words and said, "When the magic box was unearthed, it was inconclusive what was hidden inside. The Hanging Mirror Division should have been afraid that in case of a big fanfare inviting a master of the magic path to come over to explore the secret of the magic box, it turned out that it was just a scam, and it would lose the face of the Hanging Mirror Division, so it was sent to the periphery, and an elder came forward to ask the fellow Dao to study the magic box, which should be the consensus of many people at that time. ”
I nodded, "I see." So, you don't know where the box really came from? ”
Shen Feng groaned: "The Hanging Mirror Division should know. But ......"
Shen Fengyin's meaning is obvious, that is, the Hanging Mirror Division will not provide us with any news.
I paced back and forth with my hands behind my back for a few steps: "Leave that alone. The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, which is not a big deal. ”
Lu Xiaoying looked at me and said, "Wu Zhao, you'd better not have any ghost ideas." We also need you to pick you up, and you'd better not stay far from the estate. ”
Xiao Baitang also said nervously: "Brother Wu Zhao, what are you going to do?" ”
I laughed and said, "What else can I do?" It's your little sister who is thinking nonsense. ”
Lu Xiaoying glanced at me meaningfully: "I hope I'm thinking nonsense." ”
I want to explain again that the person who transported the arms to Shen Fengyin has already arrived. After the two sides confirmed the amount of arms, Shen Fengyin led people to move several large boxes into the manor.
Lu Xiaoying warned again before leaving: "Wu Zhao, we are a team, you had better not act without permission." ”
"Where can I go?" After I sent Lu Xiaoying away with a haha, I asked Ye Yan in a deep voice, "Old Ye, you say, if we are not here, will Lu Xiaoying and them be able to cope with it?" ”
Ye Yan said: "You should believe in Xiaoying." Besides, what if we stay here? We can't get into the manor, we can't interfere in the ring, and it's useless to stay. ”
I nodded and said, "Master Zhiyuan, I'm going to go to the place where the magic box was unearthed to have a look, and I'll take both magic boxes with me." Please help me take care of the inside of the manor, in case there is danger of a small win, please take the initiative to admit defeat when we take the initiative. ”
"This ......," Zhiyuan couldn't help but hesitate, "I'm afraid it's not in accordance with the rules." ”
I said in a deep voice: "The three magic boxes are too strange, and we can't determine any situation if we don't trace the source." Guarding the four magic boxes, the secrets of which can never be solved. ”
Zhiyuan frowned and said, "Let me think about it." ”
